New Netherland Institute To Offer $1000.00 Prize For The Best Published Article

New Netherland Institute To Offer Prize For The Best Published Article

Beginning
in 2013, the New Netherland Institute will offer an annual $1000 prize
for the best published article relating to the Dutch colonial experience
in the Atlantic world, with a special sensitivity to New Netherland or its legacy.
A committee of scholars will consider entries in the fields of history,
archaeology, literature, language, geography, biography, and the arts.
Entries must be based upon original research. Articles must be written
in English and be published for the first time from 2010 to the present.
Chapters from a monograph, works of fiction, and encyclopedia entries
will not be considered. Both academic and independent scholars are
invited to participate.

Prize-winning articles should make an important contribution to the understanding of New Netherland and its legacy, specifically or broadly defined, exhibit exceptional research and be well written.Submissions
may come from self-nomination, an outside nomination, committee
members, or in response to invitations to submit articles from committee
members.

Four copies
of articles for consideration (non returnable) may be submitted by the
author, editor, colleague, or other interested party no later than March 1, 2013. Articles may be sent either electronically (nyslfnn@mail.nysed.gov)
or in hard copy to the Article Prize Committee, New Netherland
Institute, P.O. Box 2536, Empire State Plaza Station, Albany, NY
12220-0536. The winner will be notified by August 1, 2013 and the prize
will be presented at the New Netherland Seminar in September.

If
you have questions or comments about the article prize, please contact
James F. Sefcik, Trustee liaison to the Article Prize Committee at jfssrny@yahoo.com or by phone at 518-374-2747
